10K Giveaway!

... Wha WHAT?!

My blog has had over 10,000 hits?! Is you crazy?

Wow. That is totally awesome. And it makes me feel like celebrating! So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give YOU a chance to win a free book. All you have to do is comment on this post during the next three days (that is, before midnight on Saturday) and you will have a chance to win one of my favorite books from 2008. On Sunday I will draw two names at random, each of which may choose which book they would like. This is my way of giving back to the awesome people who read my blog AND to the awesome authors who write books that I enjoy.

Apologies, but the drawing's only open to those in the US and Canada (shipping costs, don'tcha know).

AND THERE'S MORE! You don't need to have a blog to enter this giveaway, but if you do have a blog and you post about this giveaway, I'll enter your name twice. Just put a link to your post in your comment.

Here's the list of books you may choose from (these are books published in 2008 that have gotten 5 stars from me):

I would also love The Hunger Games, it reminds me of a Sci-Fi movie I watched in the 80's where it was a bit scarier with contestants fighting to the death against cyborgs, etc... and the contestants were groups of poor teens abducted from their area and taken to the rich teens part of town where they were judged on their performances... There are some similarities in the descriptions, so this book would really be a great read as I enjoy this type of story. and WOW! congrats on 10,000 hits!Michele

Hunger Games sounds like a great read~! I would love to add this to my winter must read collection. And my 11 yr old would love to listen to Nate the Great Audio.Thanks for having a giveaway and 10,000 post all I can say is W0W~!

I just found your blog yesterday, and I'm so glad I did. I would love to be a winner of course! Feel free to check out my blog http://5013student.blogspot.com - it's a requirement for one of my courses toward my MLS.

I love your blog and check it often for program, storytime and collection ideas. Keep up the good work! If selected, my first choice for our collection would be Greetings from Nowhere and second choice would be George Washington Carver.
